Wildlife in Seoraksan National Park
Gangwon
Granite peaks, deep valleys and mixed forest in the north-east, and the stronghold of the long-tailed goral in South Korea. Gorals keep to the cliffs and are best looked for early in the morning from the quieter valley trails. The forests hold woodpeckers, nuthatches and martens, and the park is busy with hikers in the autumn colour season.
